Dear students,

Even with a solid education, finding a good job can be a tiring process. Job markets all over the world have been sluggish in recent years and your competitors there are increasingly better prepared for the fight over the best jobs out there.

Especially landing that first job can be frustrating. It’s a Catch-22: You want a job so you can gain experience but you have trouble getting hired because you lack the experience.

Unfortunately there are no short-cuts. You must carefully prepare for the job hunt – marketing yourself is the most important marketing project you’ll ever have and its one project that never ends. Deciding for a good education at Webster was your first step in the right direction, now you need to develop your strategy to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

Webster Vienna offers several career related services throughout the year. These range from personal student advising and job evenings, to a seminar series. The following is an overview of the most important career related services and events. Dates will be posted in Calendar.
